Marquez was dumped in my league. This is just part of rostering Rockies pitchers. Marquez has given up 8 R in a game 3 years in a row with 2 of those being 10 R games. OTOH, the guy has a 3.59 road ERA against a 5.17 home ERA. The 3.59 is pretty close to Brandon Woodruff’s projected ERA the rest of the way. Tough to not roster a guy you can compare to Woodruff. OTOH, the 5.17 is pretty close to Tanner Roarke’s projection. Yuck. The tough part is he puts together a lot of good games at home – all 3 of his QS this year have been home games (though they were all 2 or 3 run QS).
I’m probably going to grab him since his upcoming schedule leans road – @STL, CIN, @SDP, @NYM, @PIT, OAK, @MIA, SDP, MIL, @MIL, STL, @ARI, @SDP, then the AS Break.
Fantastic. This will have to do since I cannot listen the pod after reading the title. Libs getting political. My head exploded. Waaaah😭/s
